H.R.2184 – End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act

This is political suicide. There's no way this wouldn't directly and immediately affect gas prices at a time when they are already creating political turmoil. Not to mention strengthen Russia's hand significantly.

I would like to hear in what possible way this is a better idea (practically or politically) than just a straight carbon tax.

This was introduced 03/26/2021. Not sure why it's relevant enough now to be at the top of HN.

carbon tax is already a politically dead idea. Sometimes politics forces you to go a shittier route than necessary.
